Summary

Crafty is a chess program written by Bob Hyatt <hyatt at cis.uab.edu>. It is a direct descendent of Cray Blitz, the World Computer Champion from 1983 to 1989. It comes with a text interface like gnuchess do. If you want a graphical interface, you can install GUI chessboards such as xboard and eboard. Crafty is based on the classic BITMAP approach to representing the chess board, but uses a unique methodology called "rotated bitmaps" to significantly improve the performance of the chess engine.
